She has played Australian rules football for the Gold Coast Suns in the AFL Women's [AFLW] league in Australia. (rugby.com.au, 03 Jul 2021; goldcoastfc.com.au, 2021)
:
She and her sister Teagan were inspired to try the sport after meeting players from the Australia women's national rugby sevens team, who won gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I was dancing jazz, ballet and hip-hop at the time. I got into footy at school the following year and we were lucky enough to make a trip to Ballymore [stadium in Australia]. We watched the Aussie girls at training and Ellia Green was kind enough to show us her Olympic gold medal. Charlotte Caslick gave my sister some Aussie shorts. From idolising those players to now playing in the same team with them is hard to believe." (rugby.com.au, 03 Jul 2021)

General Interest

General
DUAL SPORT ELITE
In 2021 she played Australian rules football for the Gold Coast Suns in the AFL Women's [AFLW] league in Australia, but had a clause in her contract that allowed her to focus on rugby sevens. "I was lucky enough to get a clause in my contract that rugby takes priority so I'll go inactive on the AFLW list to go for it at the Olympics and next year's Seven's World Cup and Commonwealth Games [in 2022]. I just never thought it would be so soon. Both sports have given me numerous opportunities and encouragement. The Suns want to see me in an Aussie jersey as much as anyone because they actually released me last December [2020] to play in the internal trials for sevens. My AFLW skills really transfer to rugby. On re-starts, I'm able to chase, steady and leap to contest possession. And I'm really drawn to the culture of rugby. I love the family feel."
